News 4's Meteorologist Chris Justus says the Upstate needs to keep an eye on the Gulf of Mexico, as some of reliable forecast models indicate the potential for the tropical system to move north toward our area.

If it does, the system would dump several inches of steady rain, causing widespread flooding.

Chris says it’s too early to tell exactly what the intensity and track will be, but everyone should keep an eye on the weather this weekend. He said if the system does not organize into a tropical storm, it could actually bring even more rain, since it would likely track north more slowly than an organized storm.
